Stache cartoons

Andrew Wilkinson – new leader of the B.C. Liberal party – was “also” the legal representative of a company controlled by Chinese businessman, Ni Ritao, whose broken promises regarding plans to restart the shuttered pulp mill in Prince Rupert costing the city more than $3.5-million in legal and maintenance fees” – a fine unscrupulous state of affairs!

I mean really, who else could these chameleons choose but someone who is an expert in collusion and in how to undermine provincial governance… And don’t you think it is a little too ironic that both the new BC Liberal leader and our North Shore Liberal MP share the same last name… hmm, time for Trivia to update their board game.

Isn’t it ironic how it is okay for the artist of “Lucy” the bronze camel that does not sit on public property rather on private Onni property can be declared public art. And apparently alright for a city councillor wannabe night-mayor Buchanan to affirm “Lucy” a very finely craved single hump camel as the camel used during BC’s 19th century gold rush and not the historically correct “two hump” camel.

And yet apparently not okay for me to refer or infer the bronze camel as “unLucky”. A number of people have politely told me I stand to be corrected her name is Lucy not Unlucky. I was simply giving the camel a “nickname”, a caricature pun, exhibiting my poetic muse much like the camel’s sculptor exhibiting her artistic license. I have since gone back into these blogs referencing the controversial bronze camel as Lucy as my poetic license seems to have been a bridge too far…

Unlucky Lucy stands between whereby “facts” can be altered by boundless artistic interpretations and by detracting expressions.

This morning a number of city residents let me know that Onni’s camel was “camelized last night and city crews were out this morning power washing and cleaning up glass and debris in and around the camel located in front of Onni’s CentreView eyesore… Now really folks who did not see this coming and no doubt will continue to happen. The city will call this vandalism while other’s under the mayor’s freedom of artistic license will call it artistic expressionism… Myfanwy MacLeod’s not so Lucky camel.
